after the
Effective Time, Exchange Agent is hereby authorized and directed
to accept (i)
Letters of Transmittal, duly executed in accordance with the

thereto (or a manually signed facsimile thereof), and any
requisite collateral
documents from Holders of the Restricted Securities and (ii)

Restricted Securities
such additional documents as Exchange Agent or the Issuer deems
appropriate.
Exchange Agent is hereby authorized and directed to process

5. Defective or Deficient Restricted Securities and Instruments.
A. As
soon as practicable after receipt, Exchange Agent will examine
instructions
transmitted by DTC ("DTC Transmissions"), Restricted Securities,
Letters of
Transmittal and other documents received by Exchange Agent in
connection with
tenders of Restricted Securities to ascertain whether (i) the
Letters of
Transmittal are completed and executed in accordance with the
instructions set
forth therein (or that the DTC Transmissions contain the proper
information
required to be set forth therein), (ii) the Restricted
Securities have otherwise
been properly tendered in accordance with the Prospectus and the
Letters of
Transmittal (or that book-entry confirmations are in due and
proper form and
contain the information required to be set forth therein) and

applicable, the other documents (including the Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery)
are properly completed and executed.

improperly
completed or executed (or any DTC Transmission is not in due and
proper form or
omits required information) or the Restricted Securities
accompanying such

have been
improperly tendered (or the book-entry confirmations are not in
due and proper
form or omit required information) or if some other irregularity
in connection
with any tender of any Restricted Securities exists, Exchange
Agent shall
promptly report such information to the Holder. If such
condition is not
promptly remedied by the Holder, Exchange Agent shall report
such condition to
the Issuer and await its direction. All questions as to the

by the Issuer,
in its sole discretion.
C. The Issuer reserves the absolute right (i) to reject any or
all tenders
of any particular Restricted Securities determined by the Issuer
not to be in
proper form or the acceptance or exchange of which may, in the
opinion of
Issuer's counsel, be unlawful and (ii) to waive any of the
conditions of the
Exchange Offer or any defect or irregularity in the tender of

promptly Exchange
Securities to the Holders of Restricted Securities that properly
tendered such
Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms set forth in
the Exchange
Offer. The principal amount of the Exchange Securities to be
delivered to a
Holder shall equal the principal amount of the Restricted

Restricted
Securities shall be mailed by Exchange Agent, in accordance with
the
instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal, by first

loss or
liability arising out of the non-receipt or non-delivery of such
Exchange

as their
interests may appear, and the Property shall not be commingled
with securities,
money, assets or property of Exchange Agent or any other party.

Property, except
to the extent set forth in the Indenture with respect to the
Exchange
Securities.
